California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS)

The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is the largest statewide survey of resiliency, protective factors, and risk behaviors in the nation. Across California, the CHKS has led to a better understanding of the relationship between students' health behaviors and academic performance, and is frequently cited by state policymakers and the media as a critical component of school improvement efforts to help guide the development of more effective health, prevention, and youth development programs.

All schools in San Dieguito Union High School District will administer the California Healthy Kids Survey biennially (odd years). The CHKS is typically completed in 45-50 minutes. The most recent survey results are linked below.
